Funky Fetal Friday: Pregnant Check In

[cherry1111]

1. Week 29. Almost to the 30s!

2. I have been feeling very loopy, almost drunk or that I'm walking in a dream sometimes. I've told my Dr about it the last 2 times I've been, but since I have normal blood pressure, no protein in my urine, and my 1 hr gestational diabetes test came back normal, she's not worried and tells me to try to take it easy. I am trying, but I still have to go to work every day!

3. I've had my moments, usually when I'm talking to my husband and I just say something that sounds Jessica Simpson-esque from the Newlyweds days.

1. 16w2d. I can feel him rolling around a bit more and he seems to get quite irritated after I eat.

2. We had our elective u/s on Monday and it's a boy, so we finally went Facebook official this week. I got into a pissing contest with a pharmacy tech who told me Zofran is a "once a day pill" and my OB is "overdosing me." I hate hyperemesis gravidarum.

3. Real! I forgot my pin numbers all of the time when I was pregnant with DD. I feel like there's no way this extra blood flow is making it up to my brain.

1. How far along are you? Any milestones this week? 5 weeks, 1 day

2. News/AWs/vents to share? DH and I almost got into a terrible accident on the way home today. Some asshole started merging into us without even looking. We were lucky there was no oncoming traffic or we would have been hit for sure. I was freaking the hell out at the thought of getting in an accident while pregnant which then sparked a full on anxiety attack. Stupid people

3. QOTW - Pregnancy brain - is it real? When did it start? Please share your embarrassing stories here so I feel better about mine. I haven't really experienced it yet. I have had a hard time concentrating at work, but I think that's from the lack of sleep because I've been needing to go in so early.

All the best shellbear!!

1. How far along are you? Any milestones this week? 12 weeks! I had my NT scan yesterday and the doctor said it was perfect!

2. News/AWs/vents to share? I'm going to have to get a cerclage (cervical stitch) in a few weeks, so praying for the best! I'm also going to take progesterone (17P) shots which my insurance doesn't cover, ughhhh.

FWIW, I am 12 weeks, and I am certain that I feel the baby.

I'm honestly shocked that many people say they don't feel movement for the first until until 16 weeks or later.

At 11-12 weeks it felt like a fish/flutters. At 13-14 weeks it felt like tapping. From 14 onward, I could feel rolling.

Now at 16+ weeks some of the movement is uncomfortable. Lots of rolling, tapping, small kicks, and balling themselves up into my left or right side. I can actually push on my stomach and get them to scoot back to the center.

My OB said I'm normal, so I don't get why people on here and TB always say 12 weeks is too early.

I didn't feel them until 19 weeks, but I am overweight so that is what I attributed it to.

Congrats to the bfps.

I am 22 weeks. Today I finished the nursery curtains so I will aw. Pregnancy brain is real. Unfortunately I went nuts last week because I lost me rings. They were right beside the ring box.

Good idea for a thread :-)

1. How far along are you? Any milestones this week?

6 weeks. (Sadly, I had to go check. When I was pregnant with DD, I always knew exactly how many days and weeks I was at any instant. Poor second kid!)


2. News/AWs/vents to share?

I'm suddenly annoyed because I realized my first appointment with my doctor isn't until 11 weeks. That's almost the end of the first trimester, which seems crazy late. And I'm pissed because I ment to call today to ask if I could move it up, and I forgot. Grrrr.

Very real for me. It's how I decided to take a pregnancy test -- I was acting like such a space cadet/crazy person that DH even asked me if I was okay!

The stories of what I did while pregnant with DD are scary. I once was leaving the house, so backing down our pretty steep driveway. I realized I'd forgotten something inside, so I got out of the car to go get it. With the car still in reverse. I didn't realize what I did until I was totally out of the car, turning to go inside, and I saw the car careening down the driveway, heading straight for the median -- and sidewalk. Terrifying. I managed to get my huge pregnant self back in the car in time to stop it right before it hit the sidewalk. I could have killed someone.

1. How far along are you? Any milestones this week? 40w,5d Milestones? Like being way too overdue?

2. News/AWs/vents to share? For the third week in a row I'm 1cm and 80%. Had my membranes stripped yesterday, on lots of labor inducing herbs, had acupuncture today. Midwife is shooting for Sunday.

3. QOTW - Pregnancy brain - is it real? When did it start? Please share your embarrassing stories here so I feel better about mine. Totally real and it started right away. I can't share stories. 9 months of stupid would take a novel.
